Semua Bab Twice Marked: The Alpha Twins’ Mate: Bab 1 - Bab 7

### AuroraI always thought I’d forget the pain someday. That time would soften it, maybe even erase it. But time never helped me not when every single day of my life in this pack was a fresh wound.I wasn’t always the ghost girl they ignored or barked orders at. Once, I was the daughter of the Beta. Once, I was someone. But that all ended the night my father disappeared branded a traitor and coward, the man who abandoned the pack when it needed him most.They said he sold us out to rogues.They said he ran with his tail tucked between his legs.They said he left us all to die.No one cared to ask why. No one cared that my mother, his mate, collapsed days later and never got back up. She died of heartbreak. I was left with nothing but whispered rumors, narrowed eyes, and the weight of sins I didn’t commit.I was ten years old when the Alpha demoted me to a maid.Since then, my world shrank to the back halls of the pack house, the cold tile under my knees as I scrubbed bloodstains from

AuroraI didn’t expect to wake up to the sound of humming.It was soft almost hesitant but it drifted through the cracks in the cabin wall like a warm breeze. My wolf stirred as I sat up, my body aching from the hard wooden floor. I reached instinctively for the small knife I kept tucked under my bag.Footsteps.Slow. Approaching.I held my breath.“Relax, I’m not here to kill you.”The voice was female. Tired, amused. And close.The door creaked open and in stepped a girl about my age. Her brown curls were pulled into a messy braid, and her jeans were torn at the knees. Her scent told me all I needed to know, she was a rogue. Like me. But not hostile.She raised her hands, eyes scanning me quickly. “Didn’t mean to scare you. I picked up a new scent while checking for rogues around my area and figured someone was here.”I lowered the knife. “This place is abandoned. So I thought I could sleep here for a while ”“I see” she said stepping inside. “I’m Nova.”“Aurora.”She smiled like we

AuroraI couldn’t sleep that night.I cried a lot. Not just from sorrow but from the anger of only being seen now and because I’m their mate.I remembered a particular day when we were younger and I’d just been declared a maid.I had just finished mopping the kitchen and went to pour out the water in the bucket when the twins came running in playing tag.“Be careful. The floor is wet.”I tried to warn but it was too late.Kaden fell and dislocated his left arm.He cried and screamed.Kael was trying to comfort him while I stood with my bucket motionless and white as a ghost.“What happened?” Alpha Damon asked as he stepped into the kitchen followed by the Luna.“He slipped and fell.” Kael explained.“And who poured water on the ground?“ He asked looking at me.I couldn’t speak.“She was mopping” Kael replied again “And she couldn’t warn you?” His voice was growing louder and angrier.“I tried to…” “Do you plan on killing my son?” He asked coming close. I stepped back in fear “No al

### AuroraWe’d been around for 4 whole days now.I don’t plan to stay long.A few days, I’d told myself. But something strange happened.They didn’t push.They didn’t corner me with apologies. They gave me space. Time. And a voice I’d never had before.It scared me more than their rejection ever did.They calmly waited with hope I’d let them in.And honestly it was working.My walls were cracking.I was sitting on the balcony outside my temporary room, watching the horizon in the evening when voices below caught my attention.I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. But I heard my name.“We can’t protect her and give her a place here,” Alpha Damon snapped, voice edged in fury. “Not without making this entire pack question our leadership.”When did they get back? I hadn’t heard anything.Then ‘Oh it must have been while I was napping’“She’s our mate,” Kael said, his tone calm but full of steel.“She was our pack’s shame,” the Alpha growled.“No,” Kaden cut in. “She was yours. You turned your back
